A combinatorial investigation of sputtered Ta-Al-C thin films

We describe a combinatorial experiment investigating the Ta–Al–C material system, conducted with the aim of determining why the tantalum-containing Mn + 1AXn phases have so far proved to be not amenable to thin-film synthesis. Samples were deposited onto (0001) Al2O3 wafers at 850 °C and characteriz...
